Li Xin remained speechless and said, “It’s still early, isn’t it? It’s September 16th. The princess won’t be able to deal with these people all at once as soon as she enters the palace! If she does that, she might earn the reputation of a fierce tigress in the palace!”
He thought to himself, ‘Could it be that the prince wants a fierce wife? Isn’t it too stifling for Eldest Miss Liu to transform from a talented young lady to a fierce wife?’
Moreover, there were so many servants in the King Dun Yu’s Residence. Over the years, they hadn’t been able to figure out how many factions were there among them. After Liu Shimei entered the prince’s mansion, could they just confront each other directly?
They needed to observe for a while. Otherwise, if it got out, Liu Shimei would be seen as extremely ruthless!
But his words fell on deaf ears with their master. His mind was entirely focused on his own plan. “Go and organize the information, think of a way to reveal all these things to my wife without her expecting it!”
Li Xin,
Since he had a fiancee, their Prince seemed like a different person!
Although he used to pretend to be foolish, it wasn’t as extreme as now: he would turn hostile at the drop of a hat!
“What did I tell you to do? Are you not listening?” Without a response, Huangfu Lingyao grew impatient. “Li Xin, do you think you can disregard me? Your attitude has been a problem lately!”
Originally, the moment he was separated from his wife, his mood began to deteriorate. When he ordered Li Xin and didn’t receive an immediate response, his temper flared even more.
“Subordinate dares not!” Li Xin’s lips twitched. “Subordinate heard and will handle this matter properly.”
All the information about the people in the mansion was available. It was easy to organize it. But to let Liu Shimei see it without leaving a trace, catching her off guard…
That was not so straightforward!
However, Huangfu Lingyao’s thoughts had already shifted elsewhere. “There are still over two months left, and the Internal Affairs Department is directly handling my wedding matters behind my back… Hmph!”
He was the groom, marrying the girl he loved. How could he not be involved?
It made him itch with frustration!
One day, he vowed to turn the Imperial Household Department upside down. If the Internal Affairs Department didn’t comply, he would have his name written backward!
Li Xin sighed helplessly and said, “Master, the Crown Prince’s grand wedding is imminent, just one month away. Think about it.”
Which was more important, the Crown Prince’s grand wedding or the marriage of the Second Prince, who was a bit simple-minded?
Should the Internal Affairs Department and the Ministry of Rites focus on the Crown Prince’s wedding and the future Emperor and Empress, or should they divert their attention to a foolish prince?
Wasn’t this something even a child could figure out?
In the past, their master didn’t care about these matters, but now, because of Liu Shimei, he cared a great deal!
Ignoring this matter was fine, but once it was brought up, Huangfu Lingyao’s resentment immediately surfaced. “Huangfu He is truly despicable! If it weren’t for him, I would have married my wife long ago!”
Li Xin really wanted to say: If you hadn’t climbed into Eldest Miss Liu’s bed, the Crown Prince would have married her long ago!
In a proper marriage!
But he didn’t dare say it!
If he did, his master might immediately come out and twist his neck!
Fortunately, Huangfu Lingyao’s temper flared up quickly and subsided just as fast. He soon reasoned with himself, “However, if we had married early, my wife’s feelings for me wouldn’t be as strong as they are now.”
“Yes,” Li Xin finally found something he could respond to, saying, “Moreover, Master, think about it. If the events had unfolded as you wish, and you had married within a month, could you have truly appreciated Eldest Miss Liu’s virtues? Could she have appreciated yours? Would you two have fallen in love?”
There were some unspoken words in Li Xin’s heart: Eldest Young Miss Liu was already distressed enough having been forced, and now she was being compelled to marry immediately. Do you think there could be any real affection between you two? Perhaps you would just become a resentful couple.
Huangfu Lingyao pondered for a moment and then let out a long sigh, “You’re right, relationships are nurtured over time.”
After a moment of silence, he continued, “During the Double Seventh Festival, I estimate there will definitely be some movement among the selected candidates for Crown Princess. You must keep a close watch and ensure my wife’s safety at all costs.”
